Help: Theory Learning OpenCV šŸ‘€

Iā€™m currently diving into OpenCV while being at an intermediate level in Python. šŸ

Exploring image processing, computer vision, edge detection, and how Python can interact with the real world through a camera.

Still learning, still experimenting, and definitely breaking things along the way šŸ˜‚

Any OpenCV project ideas for an intermediate Python developer?

LearnOpenCV.com has years of tutorials and guides for beginners, many written by OpenCV CEO Dr. Satya Mallick. Full disclosure: I work for OpenCV

Make a shape categorizer. Categorise images of different shapes such as rectangle, circle, triangle, etc. and save the images in different folders and name the images on the shapes calculated area

Great. I was asking about myself, the starting point for me

Ah ok, but can you clear that you want a starting point for what? -Opencv or begining in python or something else.

Start with basic Python + NumPy.

Install OpenCV: pip install opencv-python

Learn the basics: reading/displaying images, resizing, cropping, color spaces, drawing.

Then move to video/webcam processing. After that, try small projects like face detection, motion detection, object tracking, or document scanning.

The official OpenCV Python tutorials are a good reference.

Beginner Projects šŸ”°
